Listening to music in the Fiesta before I start work and this bird hit my side window and starting walking around my hood. I was wondering why I've been getting tiny little scratches everywhere.

That’s a female cardinal. We have one at the house and she constantly bangs her beak on the kitchen window as if she wants to come in. I think they get confused by their reflection.

Definitely.. That was my thoughts too when I seen it.. All fixed now thank God. Was the heater hose in the top position where it connects to the firewall. It runs towards the front of the car past the battery.

How much was that Hose? What is your Kilometers/ mileage of failure?

You just have to find a powdercoater who uses Prismatic powders. You can go to Prismatics website and use the locator to find a business near you. If there are multiple....call around as prices vary. Good luck and Enjoy!


I even did some leg work for ya.... check out the gallery to see the final products!

I ordered the genuine part from Ford but it wouldn't get to their dealership till Tuesday and that was $55 Australian dollars. I went to an auto repair shop and they just cut a length of coolant tubing off a reel and charged me $25 for the tube and $50 to fit it using the OEM hose clamps that came off the old tube. I cancelled the part I had on order from Ford. Next I will have to replace the next section of coolant hose that this one joins to.. Before it bursts... My kilometres is 87,000km. Car is a 2014 FiST.

Installed the new air filter from aFePower that claims to flow 325 CFM vs 265 for K&N (I'm guessing Green is the same). It's big and thick like the OEM filter, so there's more surface area.

I wish I'd seen this before getting the K&N filter. Not that it's bad or anything, but more airflow is always good, and I certainly felt a difference over the stock filter.

I wish that they made one of their 'Dry Flow' (not oiled at all, but washable) series filters for us, like the one I had for my LS1 fbody from them.

Looking at it, my guess is that it was installed incorrectly. I think it got twisted when it was mounted, and the stress made it crack, right by the hose clamp.

Your other bits are probably fine, but it doesn't hurt to check them.

Installed a short shifter adapter today.

Was super easy, took maybe 20 minutes total, 5 of it getting my music set up lol.

The shifter throw is quite a bit shorter, but the shifter itself feels much heavier. Idk if that is due to the weight of the piece on the shifter arm, or the awkward angle the cable now goes to.

I am not sure if I like the weight of it like that. Also 4th gear never feels quite like it sits into gear properly. Drove around a little bit, definitely much more effort into getting into gear, but a short distance. Not 100% sure I'll keep the mod on.

Also didn't think to take a pic til it was all buttoned up. Oops.

The mountune is the one to get. Way shorter throws, tiny increase in effort, and warrantied when I got it installed.

Keep the stock bushings. Be nice to your shift cable.
